The
thoughts in Titus 2:3-5 are very challenging, at least to me.
These are a few of my thought and beliefs on these verses.
- The aged women likewise,
that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers,
not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
- That they may teach the
young women to be sober, to love their husbands,to love their
children,
- To be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word
of God be not blasphemed.
Verse three starts out, “The aged women likewise...” Aged here isn't necessarily talking about age, as in an older lady. Aged could also mean experienced. Granted with age comes experience. I have more knowledge and wisdom now, in my 30's, than in my 20's. That being said, I have some knowledge that I can share with the younger ladies. I'm a young pastors wife with a few older ladies in our church. I can learn for these ladies because they have lived through things that I haven't. We should be willing to learn from those older than we are, whether that means they are numerically older or just wiser in an area we lack in.
“That
they be in behaviour as becometh holiness...”
